Dear Miss Boyle

Many thanks for your letter and cheque. I do hope that my advice on your music was of some use to you and I am so sorry that I was not able to come up on Friday to hear Betty¹ play it through. I have told Fred May – musical direct[or] of the Abbey Theatre² – to try and get in touch with you – I hope you will not mind.
Yours sincerely

R. Vaughan Williams
